​
4rd Grade - 5th Grade: An informal evaluation/interview will consist of simple ear-training exercises, repetition of short sung patterns, and identification of basic musical concepts. This process aims to identify pre-existing skills, experience, and curiosity. Students in this age range are expected to match pitch (able to repeat the tone sung or played exactly).
6th Grade & Up: An audition is required, consisting of a short performance by the singer (please prepare a folk song, art song, hymn, musical theatre, “America the Beautiful,” etc.), a short music theory evaluation, and guided sight-reading. For the solo performance, accompanied pieces are encouraged (please bring a recording with you or provide sheet music); experienced singers can sing a cappella. Students are expected to have prior singing experience (choir, voice lessons, musical theatre are all acceptable). The entire audition is private, with the instructor(s) only; parents are welcome to observe. Following the audition, students will be placed in the appropriate choir for their vocal abilities and music theory knowledge.​
